A crime novel set in the grunge of a futuristic Europe after it
has been colonized by India — its industries bought over by
Asian capitalists; its administration, by popular referendum,
entrusted to file-pushing babus; its food infused with the
flavours of curry. Once Upon a Time in Scandinavistan is a
novel that both thrills and appals the reader with its luridly
detailed landscapes and its unrelentingly dark humour. A
film version is being produced by Hepp Film Co (Sweden).
'In giving us a comic and suspenseful story that re-imagines the relationship
between east and west in utterly new terms, Once Upon a Time in
Scandinavistan hustles its way onto the small shelf occupied by such
counterfactual classics as Philip K. Dick's The Man in the High Castle and
Michael Chabon's The Yiddish Policemen's Union' - Siddhartha Deb,
author of The Point of Return
'Uncanny, and original, and always funny. At first glance, Zac O'Yeah's new
novel seems to be about Stieg Larsson...

'Uncanny, and original, and always funny. At first glance, Zac O'Yeah's new
novel seems to be about Stieg Larsson coming to India. But then you spot
other clues. This thriller isn't even about Europe being colonized by Indians.
This is a sly, remarkable book about the death of the present, and the future
that is already here' - Amitava Kumar, author of Home Products
